shaved head OK for job interview??

[jjyiz28]

i shave my head for 3 reason, receding hair line, dandruff problem, and i look better with it in my eyes. but is shaved heads considered a no-no in job inverviews?? do the interviewers see you as some sort of gang banger?? i also have the option of wearing contacts or eyeglasses. which should i wear?

Not much you can do about it unless your interview is a ways off.

I have a shaved head as well, but I've never interviewed like that.

I don't see why it would be a problem, it's not like you have blue dreadlocks.

Shaved head is really bad...you should draw hair on with a sharpie before the interview. No time to use a mirror!!!

I wouldn't think its a problem. I have a friend who has no hair on his head whatsoever- I can't remember the name of the disease..

I've shaved my head for about 8 years now and have never had a problem getting a job because of it.

As long as you dress nice, it shouldn't hinder your looks unless you have a funny shaped head.

Shaved head with glasses. Tell the interviewer you are going through chemo therapy and lost all your hair.

Dress nice, not like a gang banger.

Speak properly, not like a gang banger.

Don't act like a gang banger, and you probably won't be perceived as one.

Don't forget to shave your eyebrows.

It's fine. Just dress nicely and conduct yourself well. It won't matter at all.

Hell no. Go buy a rug before you even think about going to this interview.

 

[FoBoT]

i cut my hair really short (1/8") but not shaved, it was really short when i had my interview for my current job, no problem

What's the big deal? You could just be bald.
